A glass mullion system is a type of glazing system which is often used to produce vertical glass curtain walls, canopies, skylights, and so on.

It is formed from sheets of tempered glass which are suspended from special clamps. These are stabilised by perpendicular stiffeners of tempered glass and joined by a structural silicone sealant or by metal patch plates.

A glass mullion system is usually suspended from the head structure above, with the glass panels fastened to the mullions. In this way, distances as high as 24 m or more can be spanned.

Maximum transparency can be achieved with glass mullions, as well as the ability to transfer wind, snow and self-weight loading to the structure.
